Our Ingredients & Why We say 'Yes' to Local

Food tastes better when you know exactly what you are eating! The menu is driven daily by the availability of local ingredients. Occasionally, due to the availability of dairy, we source from farms in southern Georgia.

Preserved Restaurant is committed to a locally-sourced ingredient-driven menu. Our local farmers are dedicated to the preservation of our land and the production of a quality product. And while they love what they do, they aren’t doing it for entertainment. They need to make a living. Consumers that value fresh food should support local farmers by buying their products.
